I really like how Nutshell transitions into I Stay Away. It feels almost optimistic and then I Stay Away starts off feeling like that too.

Absolutely buddy, opening guitar line of i stay away always brings a smile to my face. But of course, the song overall ends up feeling crushing.

Yeah, definitely takes a turn for the sadder side very fast.

Yeah Balls it's a very post-modern view to take, meaning is created by the consumer not the creator etc it's interesting stuff



for me personally it's like Nutshell and Rotten Apples just start off in the absolute depths of hell, I Stay Away is a bit of optimism struggling against that feeling but ultimately losing out, No Excuses and Don't Follow are still quite down but musically moving towards an optimistic ending, Whale & Wasp is super calm and meditative, and then Swing on This reminds us that life isn't all doom and gloom and the positivity wins (at least until you start playing the t/t). nothing on this is superfluous imo

Yeah the fact that a 30 minute acoustic EP is able evoke nearly the full spectrum of emotions makes this a 5 for me

Yeah I don't see how you got banned for posts recently, if so it would have been like a week ago :/



Go to meds thread and ask if it's a temporary ban or permanent I guess.

It's funny when I made that list saying "I'll clean up my act", the mods kept deleting all the comments to make it look like I was shitting on everyone. I just can't win haha. R.i.p. reputation buff.

I asked, they'll probably tell me sometime idk.

I mean to be fair I really am trying to clean up my act around here and be more mature.

But to answer your question, Sput wouldn't be jailbait without me here ;]

haha yeah i just realized how much time i spend (waste?) on this site these days. Like literally 4+ hours a day if you add it up. I can now see why reviewers go on hiatus and shit because its eats up all your time, but its more productive then having 4 hour masturbation sessions i suppose.

But I haven't talked like that in forever and BallsDeep brought it up anyways. Why doesn't he get a time out? This isn't fair.
